Antivirals

<p>Dapivirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor with action on HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and is used for preventing HIV infection through vaginal rings.</p>

<p>Anti-viral; thymidine analogue; DNA plymerase inhibitor</p>

<p>Potent and selective inhibitor of influenza A and B sialidases. Zanamivir belongs to the class of drugs known as neuraminidase inhibitors. This compound is a sialic acid analogue that occupies viral neuraminidase active site, inhibits enzyme’s hydrolytic activity and cleavage of sialic acid residues from host cell surface glycans. It therefore prevents shedding newly produced virions from infected cell surface and reduces infection of surrounding cells. In in vitro studies with influenza A and B virus isolates, zanamivir inhibited the plaque formation by 50% in canine cells (MDCK) with concentrations between 0.004 and 0.014 μM and 0.02 and 16 μM, respectively.<br>Zanamivir hydrate is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready to use products for assay development, screening or other R&amp;D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of viral neuraminidase enzyme, effective against influenza A and B viruses. This antiviral compound inhibits neuraminidase-mediated cleavage of host cell sialic acids, which interact with newly synthesised virions from the host cell. This prevents virion budding from the host, resulting in inhibition of virion release and viral infection overall.</p>

<p>Raltegravir is an antiretroviral agent, which is a synthetic integrase inhibitor sourced from pharmaceutical research. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of the HIV-1 integrase enzyme, which is essential for the viral replication process. By blocking the strand transfer step of the integration of viral DNA into the host cell genome, Raltegravir prevents the proliferation of the virus within the host.</p>

<p>A compound with antiviral activity against Ebola virus that targets the surface-exposed glycoprotein and inhibits viral entry into host cells. In vitro studies in Vero cells revealed the compound inhibits the viral replication with EC50 of 0.38 µM.</p>

<p>CCR-5 chemokine receptor antagonist; inhibits HIV entry via gp120 protein</p>

<p>Abacavir is an antiviral nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that is used for the treatment of HIV. This drug inhibits the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) both by competing with dGTP and by its incorporation into viral DNA.</p>

<p>Darunavir is a HIV-1 protease inhibitor used orally in the treatment of patients with multi-drug resistant HIV-1 infection (Ghosh, 2007). It has also been shown to be effective against other infectious diseases such as hepatitis C virus and SARS coronavirus. Metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) isoenzymes, darunavir is often administered together with ritonavir that prolongs its bioavaiability, giving a terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of 15 hours (Back, 2008). The effect of darunavir on natural compounds such as matrix proteins and toll-like receptor activity has also been studied via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) experiments.</p>

<p>Cidofovir is an anti-viral agent that is used to treat Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in patients with AIDS. This drug suppresses CMV replication by inhibiting viral DNA synthesis.</p>

<p>Antiviral; Hepatitis C virus NS5A antagonist</p>

<p>Anti-retroviral; HIV protease inhibitor</p>

<p>Dolutegravir is an HIV-1 integrase inhibitor. Dolutegravir is used in the treatment of HIV-1 infections as it hampers the integration of the viral genome into the host DNA (Katlama, 2012). Active on a wide number of HIV-1 phenotypes, dolutegravir is highly bioavailable with an IC90 of more than 30 hours (Cottrell, 2013).</p>

<p>Boceprevir is a peptidomimetic, covalent inhibitor of NS3/4A serine protease from hepatitis C virus (HCV). Boceprevir also inhibits and acts as a substrate in the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A) metabolic pathway. Boceprevir was recently shown to inhibit the main protease Mpro (3CLpro) from SARS-CoV-2 with IC50 of 4.13 μM and EC50 of 1.31 μM.</p>

<p>Anti-viral; inhibits Hepatitis C virus NS3/4a protease</p>

<p>Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) with action on HIV reverse transcriptase to block viral replication and is used for treating HIV/AIDS in combination therapies.</p>

<p>Tenofovir is an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate that exhibits anti-viral properties through its inhibition of reverse transcriptases. In particular, Tenofovir is a potent inhibitor of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) reverse transcriptases, thus preventing the replication of genetic viral material. This property is beneficial in virus research areas and developing antiviral treatments. Once inside the body tenofovir is metabolized into its active form, tenofovir diphosphate, by the lysosomal protease cathepsin A, nucleotide kinases and adenylate kinases. <br>Tenofovir is part of our Bio-X ™ Range.

With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.</p>

<p>Abacavir sulfate is an antiviral drug that belongs to the class of HIV protease inhibitors. It is used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV-1 infection. Abacavir sulfate inhibits viral replication by blocking the activity of HIV-1 protease, which is necessary for the production of new virus particles.<br>Abacavir sulfate is part of our Bio-X ™ Range.

<p>A competitive inhibitor of HCV NS3/4A protease that blocks viral replication. Efficacious in treating HCV-infected patients in combination with daclatasvir. Asunaprevir-resistant replicons are sensitive to NS5A replication complex inhibitor, suggesting potential combination therapy.</p>

<p>Dasabuvir is a non-nucleoside NS5B polymerase inhibitor with action on hepatitis C virus RNA replication and is used for treating hepatitis C in combination therapies.</p>
